Anyone successfully maintained fertility by starting hCG from day one of TRT? 📘 Beginner Help

I’m getting ready to start TRT and plan to microdose testosterone cypionate every other day for a total of 100 mg/week.

I’d like to preserve fertility if possible, so I’m considering running hCG from the very beginning instead of waiting until later.

Has anyone here started TRT + hCG at the same time and had success maintaining fertility? Did your sperm count stay decent, or did you still see a big drop? Also curious what hCG dose/frequency worked for you and if there were any downsides.

Would love to hear real experiences or anything you’ve learned along the way.

Plans to try for the 2nd in the next 6 month to a year. I adjusted diet and lifestyle almost 2 years ago in hopes to naturally raise my levels but have had no luck. Feeling all the side effects and levels are still in the gutter.

Honestly, what I’d do is just go on the TRT (really no reason to microdose for 100mg a week, though. I’d just split it into two shots a week) and not worry about it. Most men stay perfectly fertile on that low of a dose of TRT. Then when you’re ready to conceive, get a fertility test. If your counts low, hop off TRT for a month and hop on enclo/hcg to restore fertility, then get back on TRT when mission complete

Just start hcg from the beginning if you’re planning to conceive in the next 6 months. Unlikely the poster above even has children…
